The weight of the kitten will be no less than the weight of the puppy in 1.4 + 1.2x ≥ 2.8 + 0.5x week.

<h3>What is Inequality?</h3>

Statement of an order relationship—greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, or less than or equal to—between two numbers or algebraic expressions.

Given:

A puppy weighs 2.8 pounds at birth and gained about 0.5 pounds per week.

A kitten weighs 1.4 pounds at birth and gains about 1.2 pounds per week.

puppy: 2.8 + 0.5x

Kitten: 1.4 + 1.2x

As, kitten is no less than puppy.

Kitten ≥ puppy

1.4 + 1.2x ≥ 2.8 + 0.5x

hence, the weight of the kitten will be no less than the weight of the puppy in 1.4 + 1.2x ≥ 2.8 + 0.5x week.

An airplane is flying at an altitude of 40,000 feet. To avoid turbulence the pilot descends at a rate of 2,000 feet / minute for
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The plane is now flying at an altitude of 42,250 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, he is at an altitude of 40,000 feet.

Descends at a rate of 2,000 feet / minute for 3 minutes.

So his altitude is now:

40,000 - 3*2,000 = 34,000

Ascends at a rate of 1,500 feet minute for 5.5 minutes.

The plane is now flying at an altitude of:

34,000 + 1,500*5.5 = 42,250

The plane is now flying at an altitude of 42,250 feet.

he diameter of an ice skating rink is 44 feet. In terms of π, what is the area of the rink to the nearest square yard? (9 ft2 =
crimeas [40]

Answer:

The area of the circular ring is 53.73 π  sq. yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of the skating ring = 44 ft

Diameter =  2 x Radius

⇒Radius of the ring  = 44 / 2  = 22 ft

Now, 1 ft = 0.333333 yards

⇒22 ft  = 22 x 0.333333 yards = 7.3333 yards

Now, Area of the circular Ring = \pi r^2\\

or, A = \pi (7.33)^2

=  53.73 π  sq. yards

or, the area of the circular ring is 53.73 π  sq. yards
